Narrated Al-Mughira:

Volume 6, Book 60, Number 330:
Narrated Al-Awwam:
I asked Muhajid regarding the prostration in Surat Sad. He said, “Ibn Abbas was asked the same
question and he said, ‘Those are they (the prophets) whom Allah had Guided. So follow their guid –
ance.” (6.90) Ibn ‘Abbas used to perform a prostration (on reading this Sura).
Volume 6, Book 60, Number 331:
Narrated Al-Awwam:
I asked Mujahid regarding the prostration in Surat Sad. He said, “I asked Ibn ‘Abbas, ‘What evid –
ence makes you prostrate?’ He said, “Don’t you recite:–‘And among his progeny, David and So –
lomon..(6.84). Those are they whom Allah had guided. So follow their guidance.’ (6.90) So David was
the one of those prophets whom Prophet (Muhammad) was ordered to follow. David prostrated, so
Allah’s Apostle (Muhammad) performed this prostration too.’

Narrated Abu Huraira:
The Prophet said, “Last night a demon from the Jinns came to me (or the Prophet said, a similar
sentence) to disturb my prayer, but Allah gave me the power to overcome him. I intended to tie him
to one of the pillars of the mosque till the morning so that all of you could see him, but then I re –
membered the Statement of my brother Solomon:–‘My Lord! Forgive me and bestow on me a king –
dom such as shall not belong to any other after me.’ (38.35) The narrator added: Then he (the Proph –
et) dismissed him, rejected. ‘Nor am I one of the pretenders (a person who pretends things which do
not exist).’ (38.86)

Volume 6, Book 60, Number 333:
Narrated Masruq:
We came upon ‘Abdullah bin Mas’ud and he said “O people! If somebody knows something, he can
say it, but if he does not know it, he should say, “Allah knows better,’ for it is a sign of having know –
ledge to say about something which one does not know, ‘Allah knows better.’ Allah said to His Proph –
et: ‘Say (O Muhammad ! ) No wage do I ask of You for this (Quran) nor am I one of the pretenders (a
person who pretends things which do not exist).’ (38.86) Now I will tell you about Ad-Dukhan (the
smoke), Allah’s Apostle invited the Quraish to embrace Islam, but they delayed their response. So he
said, “O Allah! Help me against them by sending on them seven years of famine similar to the seven
years of famine of Joseph.” So the famine year overtook them and everything was destroyed till they
ate dead animals and skins. People started imagining to see smoke between them and the sky because
of severe hunger. Allah said:
‘Then watch you for the Day that the sky will bring forth a kind of smoke plainly visible, covering
the people. . . This is painful torment.’ (44.10-11) (So they invoked Allah) “Our Lord! Remove the
punishment from us really we are believers.” How can there be an (effectual) reminder for them
when an Apostle, explaining things clearly, has already come to them? Then they had turned away
from him and said: ‘One taught (by a human being), a madman?’ ‘We shall indeed remove punish –
ment for a while, but truly, you will revert (to disbelief).’ (44.12-15) Will the punishment be re –
moved on the Day of Resurrection?” ‘Abdullah added, “The punishment was removed from them for a
while but they reverted to disbelief, so Allah destroyed them on the Day of Badr. Allah said:
‘The day We shall seize you with a mighty grasp. We will indeed (then) exact retribution.” (44.16)
Volume 6, Book 60, Number 334:
Narrated Ibn Abbas:
Some pagans who committed murders in great number and committed illegal sexual intercourse
excessively, came to Muhammad and said, “O Muhammad! Whatever you say and invite people to, is
good: but we wish if you could inform us whether we can make an expiration for our (past evil)
deeds.” So the Divine Verses came: ‘Those who invoke not with Allah any other god, not kill such life
as Allah has forbidden except for just cause, nor commit illegal sexual intercourse.’ (25.68) And
there was also revealed:– ‘Say: O My slaves who have transgressed against their souls! Despair not
of the Mercy of Allah.’ (39.53)

SAHIH BUKHARI VOLUME 6 > BOOK 60: PROPHETIC COMMENTARY ON THE QUR’AN (TAFSEER OF THE PROPHET (PBUH))
A (Jewish) Rabbi came to Allah’s Apostle and he said, “O Muhammad! We learn that Allah will put
all the heavens on one finger, and the earths on one finger, and the trees on one finger, and the wa –
ter and the dust on one finger, and all the other created beings on one finger. Then He will say, ‘I am
the King.’ Thereupon the Prophet smiled so that his pre-molar teeth became visible, and that was the
confirmation of the Rabbi. Then Allah’s Apostle recited:
‘No just estimate have they made of Allah such as due to Him.’ (39.67)
